"...an important and theoretically innovative book highlighting the
power games and discursive strategies that consutlants used to
legitimise their knowledge claimes". Denis Saint-Martin,
Universite de Montreal <!--end-->

"This book represents an admirable resource for learning about
current consulting practices, about their historical roots, and
their underlying assumptions. The case studies are rich with
concrete illustrations and informed by sound scholarly research."
Chris Argyris, Harvard Business School

"Management Consultants are unloved - perhaps even by their own
mothers - and they are misunderstood. This splendid volume tackles
the latter problem with considerable success; now we understand why
management consultants are unloved." Stuart Macdonald,
University of Sheffield

"With contributions from the leading researchers in the area,
this book provides fresh insights into the growth of the management
advice industry and a valuable addition to the critical literature
in this area". Dr Christopher Wright, University of New South
Wales

"This book is a landmark that will set the parameters for future
thinking about the role of consultants." Professor Stephen Hill,
London School of Economics
